Welp, been a little over a year since my last post. I stopped building pedals for a while. The tourbox my protos went on last year worked out pretty well.

Now working on some really involved, and very cool, stuff these days...Parallel tremolo delayAmplitude sensitive white noise generatorOD/distortion w/3 band eq & switchable lfo controlled pwmBass & guitar preamp w/ overdrive...as well as a few other unique things

Finished 2 more prototypes yesterday/today!

These will be going out with the one a posted a couple months ago, to a small group of guys I have tested them for me. One of them already has my first pedal, though I have since reworked it, so they will be getting an updated version as well.

Been working on a new fuzz, and finally drew up a layout for it on turret board. Got it put together, and tested working great from the start! This is an example of a "dlx" one I guess. They will prob have less options on the finalized ones...or just be custom options.

Controls are loud/volume, tone, gain, and a 4way rotary for various clipping options (germ, zener, 2 sili, led). The +/- footswitch acts sort of like a boost, increasing the gain of the first stage. Layout, controls, graphics, etc are not a representation of the final product. Just something to give a general feel for the couple of guys I have testing these for me.

I actually had to steal the switches for this from other projects in my junk drawer. The enclosure is from a blem pack from Mammoth Electronics.

Had the privileged of building a Gristleizer over the holiday. Was a part of the gift I sent out for this years ILF Secret Santa. I decided to put a twist on the typical design, and built it into a treadle enclosure...a re-purposed crybaby wah for the curious. Here's a little background info on the circuit.

It's hard to explain what all the circuit does, but tremolo/ringmod/broken amp/idk? Tons of control and options. Treadle controls speed, then depth, bias, & volume are on the right. The left has a vca/vcf toggle, and a rotary switch for the waveshape.

Lots of wiring! I ripped the colorful wires from an old computer, woohoo.
